Iranian-affiliated cyber actors have intensified attacks on critical US water and energy infrastructure, disrupting operations. These intrusions have been ongoing since March, focusing on programmable logic controllers (PLCs) used in various industrial applications. The FBI attributes some attacks to CyberAv3ngers, linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which exploited default passwords to gain access.
